I am a veteran air warrior. I've been waiting for almost 300 days for reply to an RTI application.

The purpose of RTI is forfeited as at grass root level in small villages and towns, these are not implemented. Even when we go higher up to State level, nil progress is evident.

I have put up an RTI, as attached, to BDO, Dumka on 07 Nov 2013. I followed it up with first appeal to SDO, Dumka on 06 Jan 2014 and second appeal to State Information Commission, Ranchi on 24 Feb 2014. No information has yet been provided by any one of the above.

I have also sent letter to CIC, Delhi on 30 Mar 2014. As this RTI was a State subject, hence it was forwarded from CIC, Delhi to Jharkhand State Information Commission, Ranchi vide Diary number 127365 on 24 May 2014 with a copy to me.

There are number of websites, grievance portals, and other means of digitization come up regularly for the welfare of citizen of this country, but the basic point of doing the service by various Government agencies, as per policies and laws of the land, remains unaffected.

The basic purpose of RTI remains useless if these are not answered. If my RTI issue is assumed genuine by the viewers, then I would come next with my RTS issue.
